Program 01
Genetic variation and stress responses in Korean Arabidopsis thaliana ecotypes
Korean ecotypes differ in how they handle biotic and abiotic stress. SNP analysis and GWAS to find out why.
Research연구 분야
Seven programs, five systems — from natural variation in Korean Arabidopsis to metabolic engineering in liverwort. Each asks how an organism reads its environment and rewrites its own physiology in response.
Program 02
Cultivar-specific responses of rice to changing environmental conditions
Japonica and indica rice under low light — growth, senescence, heading, and the genes behind the difference.
Program 03
Environmental regulation of flowering under flooding stress: the role of GIGANTEA
Flooding, hypoxia and ethylene meet the circadian clock. GIGANTEA sits at the junction.
Program 04
Potassium nutrition and the plant immune response
How K+ transporters such as AKT1 and HAK5 shape plant defense — and how pathogens exploit K+ homeostasis to suppress it.
Program 05
Environmental regulation of nutritional flexibility in the mixotrophic dinoflagellate Ansanella
Salinity, light and prey availability switch Ansanella between autotrophy and heterotrophy. Is that switch epigenetically controlled?
Program 06
Liverwort, a synthetic biology platform for avenanthramide production
Engineering Marchantia polymorpha to make avenanthramide, an antioxidant whose natural yield in oat bran is far too low to scale.
Program 07
Environmental stress adaptation in Solanaceous crops: black nightshade (Solanum nigrum)
A wild Solanaceous crop relative that shrugs off salinity and drought. We use forward and reverse genetics to find out why.
